(2013 Grammy Nominee for Best Traditional Pop Album) Before releasing her chart-topping solo album Tapestry, Carole King had written "Locomotion" for Little Eva, "Up on the Roof" for the Drifters, "Natural Woman" for Aretha Franklin, and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" for the Shirelles. "King seemed to arrive at the peak of her talents just in time to take advantage of a post-psychedelic generation that yearned for songs with a more personal, acoustic sound and lyrics that reflected simpler values," writes Contemporary Musicians. That down-to-earth sincerity—coupled with a staggering dose of talent—makes King's first-ever holiday album an event to celebrate. Three new originals (the Latin-flavored "Christmas in Paradise," "Christmas in the Air," and "New Year's Day") join a mélange of classics like "My Favorite Things," "Carol of the Bells," "Sleigh Ride," "Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday," "Hanukkah Prayer," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," and "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
